Nairobi to Host 2029 World Athletics Championships, First in Africa
Nairobi has been selected to host the 2029 World Athletics Championships, marking the first time the event will be held in Africa. The decision was announced by World Athletics President Sebastian Coe after Nairobi's bid prevailed over London, Rome, and Munich. Kenya, known for its strong athletics tradition and passionate fan base, will stage the championships at a stadium undergoing upgrades ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations. Munich will host the 2031 edition. This move reflects World Athletics' goal to expand the sport globally.
